The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

What a concept! Maintaining the traditions and culture of your country by limiting the entrance of foreigners whose culture is anathema to yours. I guess that Hungarians don't have the national suicide gene that seems to be dominant in a few other European countries, like Sweden and France and Germany and the UK and...

The knee-jerk retort from the Left will be, "Oh, that's just what the Nazis said!" And that is half true, but in this case there is the example of other countries being destroyed by the same kind of immigration that Hungary is preventing. This is not political fear-mongering and xenophobia. This is a well-founded awareness of the destructive potential of Muslim immigration.

In an October 2016 referendum, 98.4 percent of Hungarians voted against accepting migrants allotted to their country by the European Union. Admittedly, a government campaign for a no-vote along with an opposition boycott artificially inflated this number; but it does point to a majority rejecting unvetted migrants. As one prominent Orban ally told me, "We like Muslims, but over there, not here."

Is there a hint of the same irrational hatred that allowed the Nazis to kill 70% of Hungary's Jews in the Holocaust? I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. Yet the Dutch and the Belgians, supposedly paragons of enlightened thought, gleefully assisted the Nazis in the extermination of about the same percentage of their Jews, and they are dissolute and without national pride and are rapidly giving in to the Islamist hordes.

So if I were a betting man, I would put money on an Islamist-run pogrom occurring in Western Europe well before anything like that happens in Eastern Europe.

Just in case you haven't seen this. Cuomo makes a clear and unambiguous statement. He knew exactly what he was saying, and we should hold him to his words.
